- Walpurgis night partying ends in violence (1 May 13)
- Danish beer bottles 'too sexy' for Sweden (18 Apr 13)
- Alcohol seizures down despite tough new law (14 Apr 13)
Police said there were a lot of young people on board the vessel for the Walpurgis Night journey to Helsingborg in Sweded.
Back on Swedish ground, the troublemakers were met by police, resulting in the filing of five assault reports. Four of the alleged assaults took place at Kronborg castle in Helsingør and one on the ferry from the Danish town.
A 19-year-old man detained for minor narcotics offences is suspected of involvement in three of the alleged cases of assault.
Police said the trouble had not resulted in any serious injuries.

When I lived in Helsingör this happened most weekends......
I go through Helsingør about once every six to eight weeks on a friday. Even by 19.00 at night, sometimes they are fighting. The last time I was in a resturant in Helsingør, I asked the resturant owner why don't they just refuse to serve, them. He said that they need the Business. They had a fight in his resturant the previous friday.
Just watch them on a friday night in Copenhagen central station and sometimes it is the same thing.
"Drunken Norwegians storm Strömstad"
http://www.thelocal.se/25870/20100402/
Finns hate us -> call us homo!
Norwegians hate us -> call us stupid!
Israelis hate us -> they consider us anti-Semitic.
Spanish -> consider us as just as a blonde piece of meat.
.....etc
It is only muslims who like and respect us!
That why I moved my entire family to Sweden, don't you love being wanted.

What's that got to do with the fact that Denmark is nation of racist whale murders?
"Besides the Danes are nothing but a bunch of Swede hating Whale Murdering Bigoted Racists, to be honest I find it hard to separate them from the English" SIC
I object. The last whale I saw in the company of an Englishman was on a barge being given a lift up the Thames Estuary. Sadly, it died before they could pop it back in the sea; but not for the lack of trying. The exercise cost several hundred thousand Pounds of public money. I thought at the time that very few countries would invest that kind of cash to save a confused whale and was, for a moment, proud to be British.
As for "Bigoted Racists" SIC, no comment.
and five minuets later they spent £2 million quid carpet bombing a school full of Paki kids in Iraq/Afghanistan, where you proud of that too?
I think you have upset your Iranian friend.
Seems So :)
As for this becoming another ridiculous conversation about race and religion, ::sighhhh::
Lets be realistic - if you were a law enforcement officer who's charged with keeping the peace, and you have 100-200 rowdy brawling potentially drug-toting non-nationals causing trouble, you would extradict them too, because you CAN. Solves the problem. I'm sure the cops would have loved to have thrown some danes onto that ferry too, if they legally could have. Fewer rowdy brawlers = makes their job easier...more time for fika and donuts :P
Man I'm on fire, I have had so many posts deleted recently.
